Hey ,Out of the current widgets I see, "Recent topics" is the closest to what I am looking for. But it isnt as advanced as I would like.

I requested for someone to help me code a new more advanced version but was told it was not possible so now I'm making a suggestion for a new widget.

1. I like that "Recent Topics" shows the latest posts. However I want it to ONLY display New "Topics" not cycle old ones to the top because they got a new "reply".2. I also want to choose which Categories it pulls from. Kind of like the news widget but I want to be able to select more than 1 Category. Or even an exclude list would work too. I just dont want new topics being shown to everyone if its inside the hidden Moderator/Admin category.
